fixing head gasket
is it a lot of money to fix a head gasket seal?
i got a 90 lexus ls400
when i start it up it smoke white really really bad and the guy i got it from said its a head gasket seal that needs to be fixed and that it is an easy fix and should be cheap?
i think headgasket is hard to fix or am i wrong? or maybe something else is wrong with the car?

sheon i'll help you out this time
get a set of vacuum nipples
now cap the two vacuum lines on the power steering idle-up valve (its on the pump) and the two lines on the intake. one is on the pre-throttle body intake pipe and the other is on the intake manifold itself, on the front. at least on my car.

so the power steering fluid would make it smoke a lot?
the temp gage goes past the half way mark a little then i just stop driving it when it does that
and do u have any pictures of this? do i need to take anything apart?
im not good with cars at all only car audio -_-

or maybe its not my headgasket is there some other things i can check to see if my headgasket is really blown?
is it that hose and those other 2 things on the bottom? once there is no more fluid it should stop smoking?
but it would be bad to drive with none i take it? lol sorry im like a dumbass when it comes to cars but im trying to learn here -_-
some things i noticed thats probably why the temp gages go past the half way mark...
